I'm guessing Martin Luther was either an Augustinian, Dominican, Carmelite, or Franciscan, but I'm going to narrow my guess to Franciscan (25% chance).

Try from the other 75%

Augustinian?

4) When was Carthage destroyed?

Wasn't it destroyed twice? Once by the Romans before Christ and once by the Muslims?

If I have to give dates I'd say ca. 100 BC the first time and ca. 700 AD the second.

Daithi · 04-25-2012, 04:38 PM

I think these are still open, but I've got noth'n.

3) Who is the author of Ben Hur?
6) What is the baptismal name of Pope John XXIII?
7) Where is Emperor Akbar’s tomb?
10) Which state was known as Mysore?

I was looking for the first one, which was 149BC, so your guess just squeezes through as within 50 years.

Hamlet got the Ben Hur one - Lew Wallace, who was also a Union General in the American Civil War.

The others are pretty tough, so I'll give them out before I go to bed in an hour or so if no one can get them.

Couldn't manage the hour, so here are the missing answers and the scores:

1) In which year was Magna Carta signed?
- 1215 (Bilbo)

2) Which country is ruled by a single dynasty for more than two thousand years?
- Japan (Bilbo)

3) Who is the author of Ben Hur?
- Lew Wallace (Hamlet)

4) When was Carthage destroyed?
- 149 B.C. (Daithi)

5) Which is the national flower of Ireland?
- Shamrock (Northern Irland), Yellow Rose (Eire) (Bilbo, Daithi)

6) What is the baptismal name of Pope John XXIII?
- Angelo Roncalli

7) Where is Emperor Akbar’s tomb?
- Sikandra

8) To which Order did Martin Luther belong?
- Augustinian (Daithi)

9) What is the type of Government in Swaziland?
- Monarchy (Bilbo)

10) Which state was known as Mysore?
- Karnataka

11) Who was the Czar of Russia in 1917?
- Nicholas II (Bilbo half, Hamet half))

12) What is the height of the proposed Burj Tower in Dubai?
- 800 metres (2625 feet) (poohbear)

Bilbo - 4.5
Daithi - 3
Hamlet - 1.5
poohbear - 1

So it's over to Bilbo.

Right, strange place names. I'm going to give you ten sets of three place names (I'll tell you the country). One of each set is made up, the other two are true. I need you to tell me the false one. One entry per person for this one (all ten) whoever gets the most right wins (first correct entry wins in case of a tie).

1. UK. Nether Wallop; Great Cockup; Knoblick
2. USA. Monks Hammock; Monks Hair; Monks Misery
3. USA. Kirk; McCoy; Uhuru
4. UK. Ruyton XI Towns; Seven Vales; Six Mile Bottom
5. Australia. Foul Bay; Boggaloo; Humpybong
6. UK. Slack Bottom; Sandy Balls; Upper Titty
7. UK. Eastern Slaughter; Weston-under-Lizard; Westward Ho!
8. USA. Whynot; Why; Where
9. Australia. Diapur; Dunny Bay; Loos
10. UK. Worthless; Wetwang; Wyre Piddle

Good luck.
